>>17903091Main thing is getting used to just riding it. If you can stand on the board on slightly angled pavement (like 1% grade) you'll roll slowly without pushing or anything. Just keep your knees slightly bent like any other sport, and don't lean away from the front of the board because you'll fall backwards and it will shoot out from under you. If you can get comfortable standing on a moving piece of wood, tacking on more things is easier from there.

also IMPORTANT. figure out from the start which foot you will lead with and which you will push with. I learned to ride Goofy-Mongo, but I learned to kickflip Regular, while standing still. So when I ride, I can't do tricks because my popping foot is in front unless I put myself in switch. I forced myself to ride switch for a few years so I can do it but its weak shit. Choose a good stance from the start, I fucked myself.

It cannot be done. Some are destined to ride and some are destined to eat pavement. If you aren't grinding by 13, you will never grind.

For real, just buy a board and ride it around in a comfortable place until you feel adept enough to ride on public sidewalks. Then look up tricks from Youtube and you can eventually start to hip up the skateparks.

1. Dont mongopush, it will make you look even more like a dork2. Learn to ride at first3. Learn how to ollie, the biggest problem I see is coordination between back and front foot. Dont be so stiff and move your upper body together with how the board moves. (I.E lean slighty backwards then slighty forwards.)4. Learn pop-shoveit5. Learn 180s6. Slay pussy (jk there is none)

Step 3 and 4 might be switched around if you feel like it

It will take some time to get a hang of it, but its really fun. Just remember that everyone started out this way. Try to get some friends at a skate park. Be kind and humble (but no self-hatred)
